This can be the best part of your job. Destroying stuff! All the other time everyone is asking to: fix this, fix that.
In the past we took this as an experiment. Big magnets, fire, electricity, water, hot glue, paint, you name it. Magnets allow you to pull some data back off the media. Fire, well not much left if done correctly. J Hair spray and lighter does well. Electricity, kind of like fire it you have enough amps! Water sucks. Just ruins your equipment. Hot glue, if you can get it back off, so so. Paint messy. BIG hammer, good for stress and does the job. Your mileage may very. Long and short, physical destruction it best Brian From: Jon Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 3:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT : Zip Drives I'm in the same boat but with a lot more of both drives and media. We are in the process of archiving all of our old media, 5.25", 3.5", 100MB ZIP, 250 MB ZIP, and CD's all to DVD. Once the process is done is there some place that can destroy the media?

Unless someone bites on them, try selling them. People still use that old stuff. ________________________________ From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 1:05 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT : Zip Drives sorry for the OT, but I've got a couple Zip Drive 100s (parallel/scsi) and about 20 zip disks that are just gathering dust here.
